OK, I have no idea exactly what’s in store for Kate but news stories are speculating that she will stay with her mother when her baby is born, shunning maternity nurses and nannies initially. Speaking from experience, (and if you’re close to your Mum of course and she’s around), that is quite frankly the best [...]

Instagram clarifies T&Cs, but is it enough?
There was an uproar this week when Instagram announced new terms and conditions that seemed to give itself the ability to sell users’ photographs and use their user profiles and likenesses. Would the company be grabbing our pictures and using them against ads or — even worse — FOR ads, without compensating us or even [...]

Facebook buys Instagram: good thing or bad thing?
I confess, my first reaction to news that Facebook has bought Instagram was “Yay! Now all those friends who I’ve been trying to convince to join Instagram will finally join and we can all ride off into the Amaro-tinted sunset, sharing images.” My second reaction was: “Oh no! Now everyone will be using it.” It’s [...]

This weekend everyone was talking about Google+, the internet giant’s social networking raspberry at Facebook. People pleaded for invites on Twitter from those lucky enough to be let into the inner sanctum of the field beta. The thought of building it all up again on Google makes my head spin. I’ve just mastered how to create [...]
Google+ vs. Facebook, what do you think? #britmums
The Google/Facebook rivalry continues! Google+, their social networking tool, is now in invite-only beta testing. Apparently if you really want one you can buy an invite on eBay for $20. The reviews I’ve read so far are very favorable, especially when it comes to use for women. There’s some great commentary by Virginia DeBolt on [...]
Convenient or creepy? Facebook’s new auto tagging feature
Facebook may recognise your friends before you do! The social media giant have introduced new software that automatically recognise users’ faces and suggests friends to assign or “tag” to the pics. Not sure about you, but I find this slightly creepy. Then there’s the issue that Facebook didn’t tell users this would happen — resulting in [...]
Like me on Facebook– not in France!
The French love to be different, even when it comes to Facebook and Twitter. Read this article by Jamey Keaten of the AP to enlighten yourself. Apparently, broadcast advertisers can’t ask viewers and listeners to “follow us on Twitter” or “like us on Facebook”. It breaks a 1992 ruling for secret and unfair advertising. France’s [...]
